Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to complete its outer shell. the configuration of Hydrogen is 1s1 this indicates that it has only 1 electron in the shell S.and to complete the S shell H needs only one electron as the capacity of the S is 2.

How much unoccupied spaces in the outermost level in hydrogen?

In a hydrogen atom, the outermost level has a maximum capacity of 2 electrons. If there are no electrons in the outermost level, it means there are 2 unoccupied spaces available for electrons to occupy.


How man electrons would you need to fill the outermost ring of hydrogen?

1: The outermost ring of hydrogen is the s-level, which can contain only two electrons, and a hydrogen atom itself already has one of these electrons.


How many electrons would you need to fill the outermost ring of hydrogen?

Hydrogen need 1 more electron to fill outermost orbit. Then, H will act as anion.


Does H have seven electrons in their outermost level?

No, hydrogen (H) has one electron in its outermost level.


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?

An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. When it shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule, oxygen will share 2 of its electrons with each hydrogen atom, allowing each hydrogen to complete its outermost energy level with 2 electrons. This results in oxygen having a full outermost energy level with 8 electrons.


Atoms with lessthan 4 electrons in their outermost shell?

How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of a oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as a part of a water molecule?

There are 6 electrons in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom. In a water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds, achieving a full outer shell with 8 electrons (octet rule). Oxygen shares one electron with each hydrogen atom to complete its outer shell.


An atom is stable when its outermost orbit is?

An atom is stable when its outermost orbit, or valence shell, is complete with the maximum number of electrons it can hold according to the octet rule. This typically means having eight electrons for most elements, except for hydrogen and helium which only need two electrons in their outer shell to be stable.


How many electrons are in the outermost shell for hydrogen?

Only one electron exist.


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an atom as it shares electron with hydrogen atoms as part of a water moplecule?

In a water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level, while hydrogen has 1 electron in its outermost energy level. Oxygen shares one electron with each of the two hydrogen atoms, forming two covalent bonds.


Give an example of a covalent compound?

hydrogen molecule (H2) : is single covalent bond where each H atom shares with one electron to complete it's outermost shell (k level) with two electrons and becomes more stable.oxygen molecule (O2) : is a double covalent bond where each (O) atom shares with two electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons.nitrogen molecule:is a triple covalent bond where each atom shares with 3 electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons and become more stable.


Are all the electrons in atoms used in bonding?

No, except for hydrogen. Bonding uses outermost electrons (outside full shells).
